JanSportBig Student

This bag contains a lot of room. I'm a first year college student and I have a lot of books, papers, and my laptop (not a netbook) on top of all that. It can hold all of that and then some. The only thing is that if you fill the entire bag, it tends to fall away from you, but that can be fixed with the adjustable shoulder straps. It is a quality, heavy duty bag.

I am very happy with the purchase. It is exactly what I ordered. The dimensions shown with the product are precise and I am able to place into the backpack what I require, involving a laptop.

I'd also recommend: n/a

Great backpack, good quality, plenty of room. I used it as a diapper bag and there is room for everything!

A lot smaller than I wanted. Says big student but is no bigger than their other bags.

My teenage son needed a new backpack because his Swiss Gear Synergy Laptop Carrying Backpack broke in different places. My son has a 17.5 inch laptop that he carries around and it was just a bit too big for the Swiss Gear backpack (which seems sturdy) and eventually the backpack just fell apart. We researched and read the reviews here in Zappos about the Big Student and decided to try it. This is our first purchase from Zappos. We live in Hawaii and have limited places where we can buy backpacks in the middle of the school year. Being able to purchase online is just wonderful. We heard about Zappos from a colleague. Our order actually took quite a few days before Zappos was able to fill and get it shipped, but it was okay and the shipping took many a couple more days than if we were in the Mainland USA. When the Big Student backpack arrived, we took it out of the box and felt very dubiously about it. The backpack looked small, like a regular backpack. My son didn't even really want to try it but I urged him to try it anyway since it was here. Lo and behold! His 17.5 inch laptop went in so effortlessly. He could even choose between the very rear compartment and the compartment in front of that to store his laptop. All of us were stunned. He then put in all of his gear and like many reviews stated here -- everything fit! The amazing thing is, after he gets all of his gear in, the backpack still does not look big; it really looks 'regular.' He is very happy with his backpack, able to go to school without having to carry anything in his hands. We got it in black, his favorite color and it looks great. With JanSports' Lifetime Warranty, how much more can one want? Thanks to Zappos! A very grateful "thank you" for the free shipping, too. Will definitely be ordering from Zappos again. Mwah!
